Government's narrative on progress

The *Elections Modernization Act* establishes spending limits for political parties and third parties during a pre-election period that would start on June 30th in the year of a fixed-date election and end when the election writ is issued. The legislation also modernizes the electoral system to make it more accessible, transparent and secure.
